Q Straight Race 8 - Ladbrokes Black Book
CLOVER ACES (1) is a progressive dog who scored his 2nd career win last time at this track, scoring by one length (16.65). Won at his only start from this draw. Expected to go well again. SCOTCH AND BYE (4) was well off top last time, finishing 4th (16.96) in a Maiden at this track. Has won here at this journey. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Shapes as one to consider. I'M THE PROBLEM (7) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 300m at this track (16.65), beating Rambling Aces. Strongly fancied and lived right up to expectations last start. Stick with him.

Resumes from a three-and-a-half months spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing second at big odds over 300m at this track. Looks tested in this company.

Finished third at big odds last time (20.24) over 352m at Q Lakeside. Drawn close to the inside. Will need plenty of luck.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a neck in 16.74, beating Redeemer's Way. Last start finished 4th in a Maiden on October 13 over 300m at this track behind Nina Siyan beaten 4.5 lengths (16.96). Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Hasn't produced too much recently, and faces tougher opposition here. Hard to have. Others look better.
